yO eAST cOUNTY!

Has anyone ever camped here? Kumeyaay Lake Campground Mission Trails?

http://www.mtrp.org/campground

I am looking at this as a base camp for a Friday-Sunday Group event in June. Not a fan of Campland, 4 sites for 2 nights there was over $1000 and there would be extra vehicle charges and extra people charges on top of that.

I live in the navy housing right above it. It looks ok if you don't mind "camping" in the city. But yes its a straight shot to LJ on the 52. Its about 15 min or so. But its clean out there.

Funny - lived here all my life and never knew it was there. But then, never had a reason to seek out tent camping sites either.
I actually flew over it once while in the bombardiers seat of a B-17...

I dug a little deeper. The campground is closed Mon-Thur unless Monday is a holiday.

That would explain a deserted SoCal campground.

Campland is like camping in a parking lot, squeezed in there like sardines and 5 X the price of this place. I think it will work out very cool.

I grew up around this area and spent many years fishing bass, carp and sunfish in the SD river nearby. The campground is fine, nothing crazy. But you have mission trails right there, hiking, rock climbing, mtb, etc. Lake Murray is right over the mountain and as mentioned super close to La Jolla on the 52.

Once I get my Ride rigged up proper, I'd be totally down for this. Group trip?

I was just telling my wife how much I miss camping and fishing in AZ.....
